      Here's an example from eBay, there are a few more left from other sellers:

      150 watt single ended halogen

        2200 Lumens.

          @TwoCables Sweet, that's not too bad. I think a 200 watt incandescent can do 3200 lumens or more. I think 150 watt can do near 2500 or more so halogen won't be much brighter.

            I'm seeing various lumens ratings for 150W incandescent light bulbs. Check out these results and be fascinated:

            Don't worry, you can be confused if you want too. :)

              @TwoCables some of them are 130v so they won't be as bright. Most seem to be around or a bit more than 2700 lumens.

              I thought a halogen bulb would produce more light for similar amounts of power but that seems to stop once you get away from the A shape design with small capsules.

                Oh! I didn't think about the input voltage.
